So, you’ve made the decision to get tattooed. The next step is to go through the various tattoo concepts to choose one that you adore enough to permanently ink. No matter if it’s your first or fifteenth tattoo, picking a design can be a difficult task.

The notion of something being permanent alone is scary (pro tip: tattoos are not the best form of expression for professions of love), and then there’s the challenge of selecting something timeless and resistant to rapidly changing fashions. Oh, and don’t forget that you have to choose where you want your tattoo to be placed, so it’s understandable why the procedure can take a while.
